3:30 pm.
The central square of Shanghai was already crowded with people and traffic jams.
On the main road, countless traffic police were holding walkie-talkies and evacuating the crowd. At the same time, three hundred security guards surrounded the entire Magic City Center and strictly prohibited any strangers from entering.
However, even with several hundred security guards working together to maintain order, it still felt difficult.
The noise, the roar, the shouting.
All these voices were boiling in the square.
This night was destined to be extraordinary.
The square is filled with promotional posters for the FOX band, Lu Yuan, and the movie directed by James.
Among them, there are several Hollywood stars from "California Nights". Although these stars are not first-line stars, they occupy a primary position in the entire promotional process.
Rock fans are indeed excited. They think they may be able to experience a unique rock promotion in this promotion meeting...
In China, rock music is indeed half dead.
There are fewer and fewer rock singers, and most of them sing ballads, those songs about love.
It can even be said that the era of Chinese rock and roll is over.
In the end, there is only the afterglow of the setting sun.
But the passion for rock and roll in Hollywood has not yet faded, and its craze still remains.
The roar of heavy metal, the crazy growl, and the beast-like desire have not yet faded.
so……
This is a rare feast for them.
In addition to rock fans, there are also movie fans.
James naturally has a group of loyal fans in China. As soon as James releases a movie, they will rush to buy advance tickets without saying a word, and some even watch the movie twice or three times.
Others...
Naturally, they are all fans of Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan’s fans are mixed, or rather, they are fans of all ages.
Those who read books, those who watch movies, those who listen to music, those who watch the cool operations, those who are book lovers...
This moment...
Wave after wave of audiences from all walks of life were all looking forward to seeing these people appear on the stage in the distance.
"Fuck! There are so many people!"
"Of course there's a lot of nonsense!"
"Brother, do you think we can find a good spot to shoot?"
"Of course I can. Who am I? Stop looking around. Follow me..."
"Oh, okay, that's not right. Why are we going this way? Aren't the other reporters at the exit?"
"We are different from other journalists. I am an insider."
"An insider? Is this true?"
"Nonsense, it has to be true."
Zhou Shuai and his assistant arrived at the scene early.
This guy now goes wherever there is popularity. No matter which camp he is in, he will rush over to seek popularity and join the hot topic.
For paparazzi, headlines are naturally their top priority.
The assistant was weird.
When everyone else was surrounding Lu Yuan, Zhou Shuai actually walked towards another small door that was guarded by security guards.
Zhou Shuai showed a mysterious smile on his face, and when he arrived at the small door, he took out an ID without saying a word.
After seeing his ID, the security guards nodded and let Zhou Shuai in.
“Brother…you…”
"See? This is privilege!"
"Wow, brother, you are amazing. You can actually become one of the internal reporters. When did you get in touch with Hollywood?"
"Hollywood? Do I need to have any connection with Hollywood?"
"That is..."
"Xiao Liu, let me tell you, the most important thing for a person is to know how to invest. Do you know what investment is? Forget it, these things are hard to come by, and you won't understand even if I tell you. Anyway, remember, no matter what happens, don't talk nonsense, okay? Otherwise, even if you are my brother, I won't be polite to you."
"I understand! You have never trusted me since we were little!"
"That's good!"
Zhou Shuai was able to move freely backstage with his ID card.
"Wow... I saw Captain William in FOX! Wow, he's so handsome, such a jerk!"
"Shut up and get ready to shoot."
"oh……"
"Wow... Lu Yuan, brother, I saw Lu Yuan in person, can I go up and ask for his autograph?"
"I told you to shut up! I'll get you an autograph after we finish today's work."
"Really?"
"Nonsense, do more work and talk less here, it's best to shut up, okay?"
"Oh, okay."
"Okay, follow me, let's go meet Lu Yuan first..."
"good!"
Zhou Shuai walked towards Lu Yuan.
When Lu Yuan looked up and saw Zhou Shuai, he also smiled.
The two nodded tacitly.
"Coming?"
"Um……"
"This is a big job..."
"I understand."
"There are many Hollywood reporters and well-known Chinese reporters here. It depends on your ability to interview as many as you can."
"I understand. No matter what, I will follow the rules. Don't worry about me doing the job."
"Okay, you've worked hard. Go ahead and do your work. I'll lie down for a while."
"good."
After the two of them exchanged a few brief words, Lu Yuan turned and walked towards the lounge backstage.
rule?
What rules?
Zhou Shuai's younger brother and assistant looked up at Zhou Shuai and Lu Yuan, and was suddenly confused.
For some reason, he always had a feeling that his brother and Lu Yuan had reached some unspeakable secret.
but……
Although he was new to the business, he also knew that one couldn't talk too much in this line of work.
…
It wouldn't be a problem to add an internal reporter.
It was just a matter of Lu Yuan's words.
James has no objection, and the FOX team has even less objection...
So Lu Yuan did just that.
If there is profit to be made, we naturally cannot forget our own people, right?
This is Lu Yuan’s principle.
When everyone makes money, you make money.
The more popular Zhou Shuai's interviews are, the more money he will get...
That's good too!
Of course, if his own company had too few artists and these artists were not suitable, Lu Yuan would have wanted to move all the company's artists here to take advantage of the popularity.
There is a good saying.
If you don't take advantage of an opportunity, you're a bastard.
Lu Yuan felt that he was a person of status, culture and morality.
Of course he can't be a bastard, right?
After lying in the backstage for more than an hour, Lu Yuan stretched himself and felt much more energetic.
Then I looked at the busy staff in front of the window.
Lu Yuan found that everyone was busy and he was the only one who had a lot of free time.
Wu Tingting is now temporarily acting as Wang Hao's agent.
Not only will Wang Hao go on stage and sing a rock song with the FOX band, he will also wear a fox suit and twist around on the stage with everyone else.
As for Lu Yuan...
After all, this is the home ground of the FOX band, so he went on stage to sing a song "Hotel California" with the FOX band, and after that he was done with all his work.
That's good.
After walking outside and seeing the tens of thousands of audiences in front of the stage, Lu Yuan, who had been in a very calm mood, suddenly became nervous.
Oh shit!
Are there so many people?
This seems to be the first time I really sing on such a large stage...
this……
Will you be nervous?
What if you sing the wrong words?
Lu Yuan took a deep breath, quickly took out the "Introduction to Psychology" from his bag, turned to the page about tension, and then began to think about it seriously.
Lu Yuan now finds that this kind of psychology is becoming more and more amazing.
It is not only useful to the outside world, but also to oneself. For example, this book "Introduction to Psychology" seriously explains what a person should do when he is nervous and how to adjust his mood.
Anyway…
A very humorous approach was used in the end.
That is self-suggestion plus self-hypnosis, treating the person who makes you nervous as a talking "carrot".
radish?
Lu Yuan chuckled and took out the book "Hypnosis" to read again.
After watching for half an hour, Lu Yuan took a deep breath and closed his eyes, with various psychological hints constantly replaying in his mind.
After being hinted for a long time, when Lu Yuan looked at the stage below again, he really felt a little disappointed.
He laughed again.
nervous?
Completely gone.
…
Five o'clock.
Amidst the clamor from everyone, the lights on the entire stage suddenly lit up.
Yi Zhenzhen's voice rang out.
Afterwards, James and several Hollywood actors bowed to everyone, and said some words of thanks in half-familiar Chinese. At the same time, he briefly introduced his own movie, including some long-winded words like how much he likes China...
There were waves of screams below.
After the screaming, Wang Hao and the FOX band took the stage.
Lu Yuan sat in the VIP seat in the audience and looked at the stage.
The roar of rock music was extremely stimulating and exciting, especially the song "BIG BIG" which was so exciting that it made the whole audience go wild.
Wang Hao has a very good stage presence and a nice voice. When he sang with Captain William, he actually sang in his own style. Although Captain William overwhelmed Wang Hao in the end, Wang Hao was not overwhelmed too badly.
He still has a presence on stage.
"Who is this Chinese guy? Which celebrity is he?"
“I don’t know…”
"Maybe this is someone that some entertainment company is trying to promote?"
"Of course, to be able to share the stage with FOX and still maintain his own momentum, this star has great potential!"
"Yeah, this is quite rock and roll, and the sound is quite exciting too. This guy is good!"
"Yeah, I'll go online and check who this guy is..."
“Nothing can be found…”
"??? No sound at all?"
"yes."
Lu Yuan's decision to send Wang Hao to the stage was absolutely correct.
At least everyone except a bunch of rock fans in the audience noticed Wang Hao, who was following Captain William and singing Captain William's song "BIG BIG"...
They realized that this Chinese man was indeed very capable and had good qualities in all aspects.
When Lu Yuan heard these positive comments, he smiled again.
Comfortable!
With this wave of comments, Wang Hao’s popularity has probably increased a bit.
It can be considered as...
Officially debuted?
Wang Hao stood on the stage and looked at everyone below. His blood was boiling and he was excited.
He really likes this stage.
He felt that this stage was a part of his life and he gave it his all.
although……
He is still not as good as Captain William.
But……
This is the peak of his life!
He felt the feeling of reaching the peak as soon as he debuted.
Sing with an international band like FOX!
Damn it!
Even big companies like Tianyu and Huaxia don’t have it!
And all these things were given by Brother Lu!
Wang Hao was extremely grateful to Lu Yuan!
He felt that Lu Yuan was like his second parent.
He even wanted to kneel down to Lu Yuan on the spot.
call!
He can't embarrass Brother Lu!
He wants to use all his strength to prove that he is worthy of Brother Lu's cultivation!
He clenched his fist!
Rock never dies!
…
"Old Wang, did you see that? He's on the stage, and he's singing so well!"
"This brat, Xiao Lu praised him too highly!"
"What's so high? This is all because our Wang Hao will prove that he will not let Lu Yuan down! Old Wang, I think my son is very happy now. I hope he can be happy and do what he likes..."
"He's been spoiled by you! Happy? How much can playing music accomplish?"
"Doesn't Lu Yuan also play music? I think Lu Yuan is pretty good at it, much better than those singers in the entertainment industry!"
"Can he compare with Xiao Lu? What a joke! He was able to start from scratch, what can this brat do? If he can be half as good as Xiao Lu, we will be very lucky."
"In fact, we don't need to envy Xiao Lu. Our Jin Xue is also very capable, right?"
"Sooner or later it will belong to someone else..."
"Haha, Lao Wang... don't think like that... we also have a daughter with good vision, don't we? She has been with Lu Yuan since he just started his company until now... do you think Lu Yuan will become a member of our family in the future?"
"oh?"
"Hmm? Lu Yuan is going to go on stage..."
